Torches & Headlamps

Torches & Headlamps

Torches and headlamps are extremely useful items of outdoor equipment suitable for a range of outdoor activities when the sun has gone down.

As well as hand held flashlights and torches, it may be worth considering headlamps and cap lights for hands free use.

LED Torches

LED Torches use very little battery power, making them the ideal choice for longer camping trips, expeditions and backpacking when access to new batteries may be limited.

The LEDs will outlast the life of the torch so you won’t need to worry about replacement bulbs.

Headlamps & Cap Lights

A headlamp, or head torch, will allow you to see in the dark while keeping your hands free for activities like cooking, building a shelter or erecting your tent.

Petzl Headlamps

Petzl were the pioneers in headlamp technology, and if you can afford it we would always recommend them. Petzl headlamps are known throughout the world for quality and reliability, and many cavers would never use anything else.
